In the bustling modern society, Lin Yue is an ordinary girl with infinite enthusiasm for history. Once in a museum, an oil painting of old scenes from the Republic of China drew her into a vortex of time and space, transporting her to a war-torn world.
When he first arrived in troubled times, the world was devastated, the people were miserable, and the soldiers were arrogant. Although Lin Yue was scared and confused, he stubbornly wanted to live. While struggling to survive, she received an invitation to the warlord's banquet for rescuing an injured old man. At the banquet, her refined temperament attracted the attention of the warlord leader Lu Ting, who then launched a passionate pursuit of her.
At first, Lin Yue was disgusted by Lu Ting's status as a warlord. However, after experiencing Lu Ting risking his life to protect her in a hail of bullets and caring for her when he was seriously ill, her defenses gradually loosened. But when Lin Yue accidentally discovered Lu Ting's evil deeds, the two quarreled fiercely and their relationship cracked.
At this time, the appearance of progressive young man Su Ran plunged Lin Yue into deeper entanglement. The sudden attack of the war seriously injured Lu Ting, but Lin Yue rescued him regardless of the danger. After this battle, Lu Ting reflected deeply. After recovering from his injury, with the support of Lin Yue, he took the initiative to cooperate with progressive forces.
Although Lu Ting's transformation path was full of difficulties, at the critical moment, he successfully led the army to defend the revolutionary base and won recognition from all parties. In the end, Lu Ting and Lin Yue joined hands with Su Ran and devoted themselves to building a new society, and their story became a legend.
